Sir! Sir! - What is it? - You have a flat tyre.

My mobile! My mobile!

Hey! Hey! He's stolen my mobile!

He ran off with my mobile! Catch him! He's stolen my mobile!

"Sir, what happened? - My mobile's stolen."

"Sir, we will do something. Move your car first!"

there will be a traffic jam.

Such things happen At traffic signals.

I've been here for many years.

I feel that I have seen every type of people living in the city.

Some I see once and others every day.

All the cars that stop at the traffic signal..

..forget the differences in their model and price..

..and stand together as if honoring the signal.

Everyone waiting at the signal thinks of only one thing.

When will the lights change so they can go?

Every second is an hour for them.

But what they don't understand is..

..they are customers during that period.

Patrons of our signal's thriving industry.

Many people work in our industry.

Everyone has to pay protection money.

the signal manager collects the money.

Every signal has a manager.

I'm the signal manager at Kelkar Road.

My name is Silsila.

What I have learned here can't be taught at school or college.

the water supply is just for half an hour.

And argument for that too everyday.

"Hey, Chanda! Hey, Chanda! Pick up your child first."

You give a bath to the children everyday.

And you don't let me fill the water!

Move! Move! Enough of your drama!

these squabbles happen everyday.

Yesterday I stood at Laxmi temple for 4 hours and got 24 rupees.

So less?

"And at nighttime outside Chandni Bar, I got 1 00 rupees in an hour."

Who knows where God truly resides! - You are right.

"Uncle, the red dye on your bandage gets dried up."

Now apply the ketchup.

take it from that. Your blood type is A positive.

Meena Kumari! - Yes.

"Get your children ready. - Yes, yes. I will do it."

Apply the ketchup in such a way that it looks like blood.

And take care.

Silsila! - Yes.

I told you about that man. He's from my village.

Is he the one? - Yes. I have explained everything.

Pay the protection money on time. - Okay.

I'll inform Jaafar-bhai. - Okay.

And listen! - Yes.

Beg with pride at the signal. - Okay.

"What public gives, it isn't charity."

We take it and their sins are cleansed.

Consider it as a kind of laundry.

"the public don't wash clothes here, but sins."

"Understood? - Yes, bhai."

take him under your wing. He'll learn soon. - Okay.

Go. - Come.

"Hey, Meena Kumari! - Don't nag me. I'm getting them ready."

"Reshmi, wash him when he's done."

"Okay, mother."

Pair No.1. - Yes.

"You both only pay for one. At least pay that on time. - Okay, bhai."

Why do you both upset Jaafar-bhai unnecessarily? - Okay.

Get going!

And yes! Wait at your traffic signal. I'll dig up the street.

there'll be a big traffic jam for the whole week.

You guys better earn abundant money. - Okay.

"And listen, be careful while crossing the road."

"Understood! - Yes, bhai."

Hey! - What?

Is your baby showing? - Almost done.

Why do you take so much time for the disguise?

"Kiddo, pack up! Do I have to explain to you all?"

You all know that your mistress comes at 9. Get ready!

What is mistress? - the garbage truck.

"Zeenat, you all will collect bad debts from tomorrow."

We and recovering money? Must we eunuchs do the job of goons?

People are nowadays terrorized by eunuchs. - Oh God!

People don't repay their bank loans. You all have to collect that money.

You'll earn a lot more.

No! Not interested. the signal is fine for us. tell Jaafar-bhai.

these people will never earn more money in their life.

Eat it! Come on!

Are you both plotting again?

"No! Here, some tea."

Since when I am telling you to have a haircut!

Why don't you listen to me?

"Actually.. - Aunty, this is the fashion."

Look at Dhoni.. John Abraham. this is the current vogue.

Yes. - Get lost!

Why are you drawing Sai Baba? - You're new. I'll explain.

Hindus and Muslims pray to Sai Baba.

Both respect Sai Baba. So no hassles.

Baba is a hit. And we'll earn a lot. Understood?

Why didn't you come? I was waiting.

those damn Nandu boys ruined my drawing last night.

they don't fear even Sai Baba.

they think they are big shots! - Yes.

We'll have to fix them. - Yes.

Who is this child?

He is Barkya.

Nana chowk's vitthal has gone to his village for 2 days.

He told me to look after him.

I put him to work.

Did you tell him about me?

"Yes. Barkya, he's Paya-bhai. A dangerous fellow."

Yes. If you see him anywhere.. anytime..

..show him your ass and run!

You too! You always tease me!

"Hey, Barkya. Do you know.. when I was of your age.."

..I did the same work with him?

And now he's the signal manager.

A man moves up quickly in our business.

"Not heaven-wards, fool! He is looking up!"

"Look, Silsila."

Nandu's boys are coming.

"ldiots, I told you not to come here!"

Silsila..

I warned you! Go!

You act very smugly!

take him away. - Go! - Get lost!

I'll shove it up yours.. go!

Let it be. - they went away.

Let's have tea. - Scoundrels!

"Sharif, serve 2 cups of tea to the gentlemen at table 2."

there was a time when we enjoyed champagne at swank parties.

Now you are treating me with tea and..

..making me a home and car loan agent.

Don't remind me. Here's the list of new customers.

But this is the list of small-time traders.

they're the ones who get taken in.

He abused me and hung up.

Don't worry. You'll get used to it.

You'll become thick-skinned like a rhino within 10 days.

Hound them so much that that they give..

..us an appointment to get rid of us.

Come on. Make the other call. Call Nair.

What is this! Eat quietly! - I am eating!

So you too want to join our business?

"Yes, brother."

"Kiddo, stop at my signal every day. - Okay."

Only in Mumbai do people trust one another.

Over there? Right?

"Excuse me, sir. Actually I'm a software engineer."

I came here for an interview.

Someone stole my wallet. Can you lend me 50 rupees?

"Don't try conning me. Get lost! take me for a fool, do you?"

these fellows are work-shy.

Will it turn me fair in 4 weeks?

that's what they claim.

"Sister, flowers! Buy some."

Do you know what time it is?

You left the depot at 8.20. Its 9.55 now. Not good enough.

Stop your atrocities against us Maharashtrians!

Damn old man! the mill strike fails and you get mad at me.

Prince! Some money.

Born unlucky but we never lie. You will prosper. Pay up.

How many must I pay? I paid one of you ladies.

"Salma, was it you? - No."

What stupidity.

"Damn Bangladeshi impostors, they must have taken the money."

Let me catch them and I'll cut it off.

"Prince, next time talk in Bengali."

"lf they understand you, bank the cash in your pocket."

Must I now learn Bengali for their sake?

"Sir, give me!"

"Sir, give me!"

"Sir, give me."

"l told him, if you have money, talk or else get out!"

He ran for his life.

We're here.

You owe me 64 rupees in all.

I'll pay you when I owe 100.

"Shut up and go! Mend your ways, fatso."

Look who's talking.

"Dollar sir, dollar. - Go."

"Dollar sir, dollar. Sir."

Pour more. Are you sprinkling holy water?

"Hey uncle, it is six of us and one bottle."

"English whisky. Rare stuff. Manya, pass your glass."

If this is life.

Why dress like that?

"My costume! When I wear this, I earn more."

What are you saying? - My style in begging!

Like it? - tea?

Are you new here? - Yes.

Have some tea.

I came to Mumbai looking for work.

Everything was stolen at the station the day I arrived.

I had the clothes on my back and no money. So I sat at the station.

I came from Jammu. Mumbai was so hot.

So I got undressed and slept at the station.

then?

People thought I was a beggar and threw money at me.

How long have you been here?

ten years.

ten years!

Pay protection money.

"Neither police, nor municipality will trouble you."

All pay.

We do good business. Mumbai is loaded.

that's why we came. But why protection money?

You know the long-haired boy?

Silsila. You pay him regularly.

Or the goons won't let you stay.

I'm off. Or I'll lose my underwear too.

"Chutki, those two guys must have been after the money."

Ok. I'll hang up.

Have you found your parents?

No.

But I will. - Like hell!

"No Chhaya, the party was excellent."

Sabina didn't want to leave.

I had to drag her away.. Iiterally!

"l will see you, okay bye."

"lf you can't handle your drink, why must you drink so much?"

"What is wrong with you, Sabina?"

Everything! - Oh my God.

Wilson stop. Stop the car.

Just stop here. Oh no.

Just bend down. - Leave me.

"You will be fine. - Uncle, they're no different from us."

Free booze. they over do it.

Leave me.

"Okay. Wilson, bring some water."

"What happened, madam? What happened, sir?"

"Madam, what happened?"

"What happened? What happened? What happened, sir?"

"lts okay, she is just a bit sick."

Water for Madam!

"Uncle, step back."

You losers! Go!

"lts okay, you alright baby?"

"Are you okay? - Look, she is my wife, she is okay."

"Yeah, yeah I know. Madam, are you okay?"

"Come. - Madam, are you okay madam?"

Come.

"Madam, are you okay? - Yeah, she is fine."

the flirt's at it.

"Madam, are you okay? - Say you are okay."

"Excuse me sir, excuse me sir."

"Sir, actually I am a software engineer,"

I came for an interview at the Express towers.

Someone stole my wallet.

this is very embarrassing sir.

"Can you please give me 50 rupees, I don't have money to go home."

Do you have a visiting card?

Or a mobile number? I'll return the money tomorrow.

Where do you stay? - Dahisar East. Anand Nagar.

"Your mobile number, sir? - 9819714504."

thank you very much sir.

Listen. All the best for your job.

"thank you, thank you."

One small packet.

A small packet of Fair Fast. 22 rupees 50 paisa.

Is it the right amount?

Will it make one fair in four weeks?

Who is it for?

Me.

Sure it works.

"Jamal Bhai, here's 1 00 rupees in coins. Exchange it for a note."

You came here this morning.

Back again?

Business is good. today's tuesday.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Here's your note.

"Mr. tripathy, our It centre will be built in your constituency."

"Please give me money, sir."

I'll talk to you later.

Francis. - Yes sir.

I see that.. you slow down at these lights. Why?

"No reason, sir."

Ok. Drive on. - Yes.

"Sabina, how many times I told you not to dress like that.."

..when you come to my office.

Do you understand or not?

"Sanjeev, I'll come whenever and whichever way I want."

And your cheap secretary whom you fancy.

She wasn't let into the club. Yet you travel club class with her.

She'll soon discover what you can't do.

"Speak softly, Sabina."

He is listening.

As if I care. You dog.

Still no clothes?

Pray my son gets admission.

Go and talk to him.

"Manya-bhai, I was talking to these girls."

they are ready to pay.

I tried explaining..

they acted tough.

this one was fired up.

He's Manya. Silsila's best friend.

I made a mistake.

We're new. We over-reacted.

Forget it.

Don't chew my brains.

I'll talk to Silsila.

Listen.

No more trouble.

Be off with you!

"Your name? - Rani. My sister, Chutki."

From Gujarat?

they want to understand our rates.

Understand? they pay the same as everyone.

Small traders pay 50 rupees a week.

You with your Gujarati goodies.

You'll pay 80.

We'll have nothing to eat.

I pay rent too.

Will you take less?

We have a loan..

We must pay interest too.

they're having a tough time. Show pity.

You do the showing. Not me.

Give them a break. - 60 a week.

When you do well..

..pay what the others do.

"Any problems at the signal, tell me. - I am there!"

Don't create a nuisance at the signal.

Or else the goons won't spare us.

"You keep disappearing, Dominic. What am I to think?"

"Wait, I'll pay."

You never let me pay.

He takes money for his drugs from everyone but me.

Is my money dirty? Don't you take a whore's money?

"It's not that, Noorie. Don't get upset."

I never borrow money.

I lend you money for drugs.

I don't take your money. I offer you coffee.

I care about you. Doesn't that please you?

Sure it does.

A kind man..

..scares me.

Come.

Go! time for your fix.

He'll never change.

He will never mend his ways.

Kamla. - Yes.

What is it?

Your lover didn't show?

He must be messing around.

He opened new doors for us.

that's our Gullu. - Just a second baby!

"Waived a magic wand, and changed them overnight."

this.. for you.

"they say, a man always prefers a man."

Gullu!

Why has your gait changed of late?

What?

Who says that.. - What? -..men don't feel sore too?

Laugh on!

"Anna, some ginger tea!"

Is it aching? Come here. We'll soothe your pain.

Give in the name of Allah.

Alms in the name of Allah. He will make you prosper.

Here. Have a good time. And pray for me.

Pray for me. Understand?

Oh God! What is it brother!

500 rupees for a beggar?

So what? It'll come right back to me.

"Rasiklal-ji, why don't you reduce the price of the flats."

"Dubey-ji, it isn't the price."

that's not the problem.

the real problem is the road that leads to the residential complex.

the municipality workers leave the road dug up for months on end.

"And then the slums. the beggars, the illegal stores."

And countless traffic lights.

they cause big traffic jams.

"You're half dead before you reach my housing complex, Dubey-ji."

"People say it should be called Slum view not "Sea view."

You can laugh! the goons are harassing me too.

Where do I find the money when the flats won't sell?

"Rasiklal-ji, shall I talk to the goons in Dubai?"

Please no.

No need for that.

"Dubeyji, I heard that.."

..the local government has ordered ten flyovers.

One flyover will be built nearby.

"lf it can be extended to my complex, my problems will be solved."

the flats will go up in value.

You help me.

I can even give you the model.

Where is she?

"Dubey-ji, not that kind of model. the flyover model."

I should meet the chief engineer.

I'm going there. I'll talk to him.

Silsila! Silsila!

What is it?

I have something for you.

Not now.

Later. - Is it a bomb?

A gift for you. - A gift.

A gift for you.

You took less money from us.

You're a softy.

You see too many movies.

Giving me a present!

Ok. Now go.

I'll see what you've given me.

"Reshmin, did you see Silsila today?"

No.

You must! He's gone nuts.

What a shirt!

Solid! Stylish. the tops.

You look as if you've been to a Gujarati gig.

I'm leaving. Cut the crap!

What is this greenery at the signal?

Rani gave it to him.

Money will shower down today.

"Come on, don't be shy!"

"When you did not feel ashamed to wear it,"

then don't be shy to flaunt it too.

"What's wrong, Manya? Don't act smart. I'll belt you."

"Silsila, your costume is quite colorful!"

Did the circus come to town?

See Silsila!

Don't touch me!

Why is Silsila wearing a frock?

He looks cute.

I never dress like this.

Why are you all teasing me?

Why are you pulling my leg?

"the day we don't talk to one another."

that day never passes.

I don't know where.

I look for you everywhere.

"l see your beautiful face in all kinds of places."

Life is intolerable without you.

I am lifeless.

You give me life.

the day that I don't see you.

the day that I don't see you.

"that day never passes. Nor does the night fall."

"that day never passes. Nor does the night fall."

"the day we don't talk to one another."

"the day we don't talk to one another."

Did my 9.35 am chick go by?

"Romeo, no one falls for you. But you never give up."

today is lndependence Day. Let them enjoy freedom too.

"Once she's mine, she'll be free."

Buy flags!

Flag-seller! Give me four flags.

How much? - Eight rupees.

"Keep the change. - Yes, sir!"

Buy flags! - Here you are.

You too take this

Listen! Not you. Her.

"Come here, child. Selling flags?"

How much? - two rupees for one.

two rupees for one? How much for two flags?

Four!

How much for three?

Six. - Six.

And four?

Eight.

And for five? ten!

10 rupees for you.

Keep the flags.

Come when you see me at this signal.

Ok sir.

"Sir, buy a flag! two rupees each."

"Mr. Shaikh, happy lndependence day. the lCBl bank calling."

We've spoken before - Yes?

I have a new home and car loan scheme for you.

How many times must l tell you not to bug me?

You never listen! I'll strip you naked and belt you.

You were right. I'm used to their insults now.

If they say good morning..

..or abuse me. It's the same.

"l told you, didn't l?"

Now call Gautam and Nirmal.

How much? - two rupees.

tell your boss to buy a flag.

"Hari, hurry up."

"Sir, flags for you?"

"Sir, buy a flag. two rupees."

"two rupees? too much. - A fair price, sir."

"Sir, take one. - Well, shall l?"

We'll get a free flag at the parade.

"take one, sir. - Give me three for a fiver."

"that won't cover costs, sir."

Go away!

"Please take it, sir. - Go away."

Give me the flag. I'll pay for it.

It's free.

Some politician! Haggles over a flag. Dog!

"Hey, drive on."

I'm so bored! Only patriotic movies and Minister's speeches on tv today.

Say what you may. We're better off than these Ministers.

"they fool people in the daytime, and we fool them at night."

You put it so well. - Sure I do.

Dominic!

Where were you?

I came by yesterday.

You were out.

I was here. Oh yes! I went to call mother. She said that.

"the pimp who said he'd marry me,"

..but sold me in Mumbai is getting married.

How many swear words you use!

"You swear more than you talk. - Drop it, Dominic."

Mr. Shaikh wants you in Yatri Lodge.

Hurry!

I'd better go. Shaikh is a rank bastard.

Smart-ass! Inspector Shaikh speaking.

tell Moin to bring the money now.

Inspector Shaikh knows how to stick it to you.

Your lot will be buried in Mumbra.

Never make me angry.

"Sir. - Yes, tell me."

Has lnspector Mhatre been transferred?

Are you missing him?

I was just..

"Sir, not today."

Let's just drink.

Why?

Are you celebrating lndependence?

"No, sir. I have my period."

Your period!

When I am free you have your period.

So what were you doing out at midnight?

Don't try to con me.

Period! My foot.

So what!

I want to have a good time.

"Come on, lie down"

Get your clothes off!

If your boss can't afford gas..

..why buy a big car?

He's killing me.

Give money to the poor.

A few coins! - tomorrow.

tomorrow? I have millions stashed away in tomorrow.

Hear that Anil? Even beggars are cheeky.

Coming out with SMS jokes if you please.

Madam! - Shoo! Go away.

"Please give, madam."

"Dambar! Come here. - What is it, Paya?"

You wanted to know who in-flight waiters were. Here they are!

Shut up and get lost. What rubbish!

"Sir, take one. they're lovely. Only three garlands for ten rupees."

Why not buy one?

"Sir, you always buy my flowers. Don't steal my client."

Fight on! We don't want the flowers from either of you. Fight!

Why are you fighting on the road?

Move out of the way!

Why doesn't anyone stop them?

How shameless they are!

How dare you!

"Hey, clear the way. Get off!"

How dare you sell to my client?

My God! See how they are fighting!

"Mala, let go of her!"

Leave her I said.

What are you all looking at?

"Mala, let her go."

Stop fighting now.

"Sir, Dubey's file. He's here to meet you."

Dubey?

the MLA who sent you the flyover extension file.

Why do you give appointments to these people?

I tried to put him off. But..

Send him in.

"Mr. Jha, you must have seen the file."

I have seen it.

there is no need to extend the flyover into that area.

the proposal is rejected.

"Mr. Jha, the builder.."

"..is a big-spender, if you are willing."

"Mr. Dubey, I know what's on your mind."

I'm not that kind of man.

"As far as your builder, the big-spender goes."

I live quite happily within my means.

Have some tea.

I thought that you will not come today.

Your lips are dark from smoking.

Noticing my lips?

Smoke less.

Aunty says that too.

You're very fond of her.

She raised me when my parents died.

I've lived with her since I was two.

I was 10 days old when I first worked at the signal.

ten days old?

"Mother begged, holding me in her arms. the signal became home to me."

Will your wife live there too?

You think I'd keep you on the streets?

I tell you right now.

I'm not going to live at the signal!

Bastard!

What's the damage?

50.

Keep this. Enjoy!

"Mukesh, you said Mumbai has improved."

"It's just the same. the poverty, the slums."

You can't compare it to New York. No way!

"Francis, wait."

take this. Move on.

You bet! this country will live on charity.

the Baroda plan is doing well.

My guru advised me to be generous.

I always give to this beggar

My Jignesh got his admission thanks to him.

Now I get it.

Midday! Midday!

"lts amazing, look at this."

Can you believe that there is cow in the middle of the road?

"lts amazing, in the middle of the road."

A traffic jam every day

You still here?

You whiteys!

Have you forgotten? We kicked you out in 1947.

What is he saying? - What does he want?

You dare photograph a cow?

You better stop.

I will not tolerate that.

"Simon, go back!"

"Come, Mr. India"

"Simon, who the hell is Simon?"

My name is not Simon.

What happened? What happened?

I was just.. I was just taking some pictures.

He's crazy. He's a crazy man.

What happened? What happened? - What do you mean what happened?

they photographed the cow.

How can we tolerate that? - Let's go.

Will someone move that cow? We are getting late.

Move that cow!

We were just trying to take some pictures.

I haven't done anything wrong. - lts okay.

I have taken care of it.

Keep moving!

I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong.

Its unbelievable man.

"Yes, yes it's okay. You come here"

All I did was take some pictures.

He is crazy.

Everyone is going crazy. Crazy old man.

"Yes, yes everyday it is happening."

I don't understand why was that guy so mad?

"Actually I am a software engineer, I had come here for an interview."

And somebody took my wallet. - My name is not Simon anyway.

My name is Andrew.

Somebody took my wallet in the crowd you know.

And now I have no money to go home.

He is crazy. - Can you give Me 1 00 rupees to go home?

He was a crazy man. - Can you give me 1 00 rupees?

I was just trying to take a picture.

I was just trying to take a picture.

Don't worry.

You can take a picture there.

You can take picture there.

"Cost price, madam."

I'm a fashion designer.

I'll take 12 pieces at the right price.

this is a fair price. 12 pieces for 1200.

Reduce the price.

"Sharon, why 12 pieces, babes?"

"Alan, this year my collection is ethnic."

"Ethnic? - Yes, but don't tell anybody."

I don't want to take any risk.

Remember fashion week?

My model's clothes came undone.

I really want to play safe this time.

Let's settle for 1 000.

Madam. take them.

Rani. - What is it?

Come here.

I'm coming.

"I'll be back, Chutki. She will show you the clothes"

What's it? - Great news!

A boy is coming to see cousin Sushma.

Doll her up.

I'll get some clothes.

It is to talk about marriage.

Remember it's not for a Gujarati gig.

Stop poking fun. Let's go.

I'll be back soon.

Quite a big room!

Sushma's father bought it cheap.

Where is her father?

Washed away.

Washed away?

In alcohol?

In the Mumbai's floods. On July 26th.

I see.

He has a booming business.

He minds the devotees' shoes at the Mahalaxmi temple.

For 20 years.

Baban works there too.

He used to mind shoes.

But his business has now expanded.

Now he sells incense and flowers.

Sushma won't find a better boy.

Absolutely!

Where is Sushma?

"ln the next room. Paya, get her."

"Rani, don't leave my side."

"Sushma, I'm here. - Why are you scared?"

Say no if you want.

"Sushma, your future husband is here."

Come on! Come.

"Come in, daughter. Sit down."

My daughter Sushma. And her friend Rani.

Baban likes the girl.

What about the dowry?

No dowry.

that's a whim of the rich.

We want the girl dressed as she is.

this is all I own anyway.

"Sabina, this is just too much."

"l mean, its just not happening between us.."

..anymore so let's just get divorced.

So do that.

Go back to your council estate in Borivali.

Buy a second-class train pass.

Befitting your middle class status.

Just shut up Sanjeev! Don't think that you are going to be spared.

My lawyer is going to squeeze you dry.

And you'll be at this signal.

With these eunuchs.

You are demented.

I came to the Express towers for an interview. My wallet's stolen.

"Sir, help me. I have no money to get home."

How can I help you?

Lend me 100 rupees. Give me your mobile number.

I'll repay tomorrow.

Go away! I have no money.

Got the job?

"Rasiklal-ji, I tried my best. the damn engineer isn't corrupt."

And you know how we operate.

A man like him creates big problems.

When will he see sense?

"Dubey-ji, you and helpless? try anything. Get him transferred."

I can't. He has been appointed by Central Government. Delhi.

We can't touch him at State level.

So must we sit back and twiddle our thumbs?

My flats aren't selling. the goons are breathing down my neck.

Just a minute.

Why not ask the goons to fix the engineer?

I'll see to the rest.

Ask them.

"lf the flats sell, we all profit."

"You, them and me. Profit for everyone. Ask them to help out."

that's him.

Popcorn.

Give me my change.

Mister!

You're him? - Who?

the man in underwear who begs At Kelkar Market Road signal.

Say that again?

You're the same beggar - Are you crazy? Or high?

Do I look like a beggar? - You are a beggar.

Do I look like some beggar?

I've given you money many times.

What's wrong? - Listen to him.

He says I'm a beggar who begs in his underwear at some signal.

And he's given me money. Do I look like a beggar?

"Sir, mind your manners."

this is a classy multiplex. You can't bother people.

"He's a gentleman and polite. In his place, I'd give you one."

Reason with him. Beggar! My foot.

"lf you don't like the movie, don't vent your anger on others."

Let us all enjoy the movie.

Go now.

You take me for a fool? I'll show you.

I'll show you.

Where were you? - I met a client.

Here too? - Yes.

"Next time anyone gives me a free cinema ticket, I'll refuse."

All my patrons come here.

Let's enjoy the cool air.

My addiction worsened.

I left college.

I sold all the furniture at home.

I had a hockey stick left.

I won the college tournament with it.

I sold that too.

My photo was printed in the Midday.

"Shall I show you? - Drop it, Dominic."

"Noorie, I'm going."

Okay Anna.

Don't bore me.

You come here once in a fortnight.

High as a kite. Carrying on about your past.

Drop it now.

What?

Offended?

"Dominic, enough."

A man came to my house one day.

Mother asked him over.

She was uneducated. How else could she earn money?

It's entirely my fault.

"You keep saying, I don't live off a whore's money."

But I have done.

Red Fairy!

Are you sleeping with this junkie?

He's a hollow pole. Can't lift it up.

Get lost!

"Slow motion, come."

Where to?

No five star hotel for you.

We do it right here.

"Khan, park ahead."

take this.

"Sir, my father's dead. I need money to bury him."

Where is his body? - Over there.

"Please, sir."

Is that a dead body?

A ghost. - A corpse?

Asking for money again!

You'll make me a beggar too. Who do you think you are?

One day you're a beggar and the next you're at the movies.

Soon you'll be eating at a posh restaurant.

Come here. I'll strip you!

I am listening.

Who's behind them? - Who cares?

But I can assure you the plans for the flyover will not change.

"Bhaijaan, they're here."

So you are the ones who keep calling?-Yes sir.

"Ok, I'll call again next week. I'm hanging up now."

What is it? - What to say?

A kid called Chinna Swamy..

..keeps calling.

Asking news of his parents. What can I tell him?

His family is dead.

the tsunami victims' compensation was swallowed by some corrupt people.

And they put the dead ones' names on the missing list.

the boy thinks they're on a missing persons list.

I don't know what to do. this is a headache for me.

that's two rupees more.

Why waste money?

You won't see them again.

"Bhaijaan, they'll get the engineer at the Kelkar Road signal at 1 1.30."

And the train tickets for the boys?

they'll go to Azamgarh.

When the job's done. - Don't blow it.

Lots of money riding on this. the builders are paying millions.

For an engineer?

Even the cops charge less to spare us.

It's not the engineer.

It's the flyover.

the builders want a flyover.

the Kelkar Road signal will be wiped out if it's built.

We earn 1 5 million at that signal.

that's why the brothers are charging a high fee.

there must be no mistakes.

the engineer's car better stop at the signal at 1 1.30 am.

they'll do the job.

they'll manage.

Ask him.

Is the engineer going to die?

Are you crazy?

We will just kidnap him.

Bhaijaan says your boys better..

..play ball. Go!

Go. Enjoy some biryani.

"Papa, remember your promise? - Papa hasn't forgotten."

He has lots of work today

And till then you will not trouble your papa.

"l almost had the money, but father sat up."

I freaked out.

Yes? - the car is on Kelkar Road.

"Sure? - Yes, I am."

See you later.

Stop the car!

Are you out of your mind?

You want to die?

Drive carefully.

"Not my fault, sir."

See what's happened to him.

truth and honesty are defeated again.

Engineer Jha was shot by two unidentified persons.

At Kelkar Road traffic signal.

Jha was a rare honest officer.

He carried out his work with integrity.

they say his honesty caused his death.

He received many death threats since the flyover plans were announced.

An insider claims..

..the builders' lobby is responsible.

We are yet to see if the police enquiry will be successful.

"Umesh Kumawath. Star News, Mumbai."

"they said they'd kidnap him, but they killed him."

What a mistake we made. Seems like he was a good man.

He was. And your last hope.

He was the only man who could have saved the signal and your homes.

the scoundrels killed him.

they're making a flyover for their own benefit. It's all over.

With this signal being destroyed So many will become homeless.

Jaafar Bhai!

they shot the engineer.

"they said they'd kidnap him, but they killed him."

Khadi said the signal and our homes will be razed to the ground.

they're building a bridge.

Bhaijaan lied. He cheated us.

So? I know he cheated us.

"He said he'd kidnap him, but they shot him."

What can I do? What can you Do? He made a fool of me.

He's the boss after all 49a:

"Our homes, our signal. Everything's over."

And we can do nothing.

We can do nothing.

Lower it! Release it!

What are you people doing?

"Silsila, stop! Be quiet."

Enough.

We'll do something together.

Are you listening?

For the time being we will manage with

the supplies that we have Mr. Pundit.

We need more supplies.

So many children here.

It'll take days to rehabilitate them.

More supplies will be needed.

Enough! Don't cry.

Something has to be done. Please have some blankets sent.

I'll speak to Bal Sewa trust too.

Mr. vaman Rao-ji.

"Sir, this is the boy."

Or are you under threat?

"No, sir."

"Did you know as State witness, you will remain in custody?"

"Yes, sir."
